Anthem of Nevada USA

Home Means Nevada
Written & Music by Bertha Raffetto

Way out in the land of the setting sun,
Where the wind blows wild and free,
There's a lovely spot, just the only one
That means home sweet home to me.
If you follow the old Kit Carson trail,
Until desert meets the hills,
Oh you certainly will agree with me,
It's the place of a thousand thrills.

Home means Nevada
Home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the pine.
Out by the Truckee, silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines,
Here is the land which I love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Deep in the heart of the golden west
Home means Nevada to me.

Whenever the sun at the close of day,
Colors all the western sky,
Oh my heart returns to the desert grey
And the mountains tow'ring high.
Where the moon beams play in shadowed glen,
With the spotted fawn and doe,
All the live long night until morning light,
Is the loveliest place I know.

Home means Nevada
Home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the pines.
Out by the Truckee's silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines,
There is the land that I love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Right in the heart of the golden west
Home means Nevada to me.

@nevadachick28 I am Hunter and I live in Las Vegas, although I have also been to several other parts of Nevada. I know there is a lot of crime, but we aren't making a monopoly on it. I know there is a lot of desert, but there are a lot of other places that are more woodland-ish too. People forget how big Nevada really is, there's a lot going on here.

@Hunter7023 who are you and where in Nevada have you been????

[Hunter7023]

@HepburnFlicks Our is based of tourists who want to gamble, not so much locals. So yeah, you can blame just about anyone there. I don't know where you got 10% prostitution from (your ass maybe?), but it really isn't a huge issue.

Also, why does it matter that there is so much desert in Nevada? If you're coming here to see nature, you're coming here for the wrong reasons. Oh and there are plenty places where there isn't desert in Nevada, but again, you shouldn't be visiting Nevada for nature.
